TO THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS OP ENGLAND. The Committee of Management of the Era, Sunday news paper, think it incumbent upon them to return their grateful thanks to the body of Licensed Victuallers throughout the country, for the noble and generous support they have given to the new Journal. The Era commenced its career last Sunday in so triumphant a manner as to form a very remarkable, and indeed unprecedented, event in the history of English news papers. This is susceptible of an explanation highly honourable to the Licensed Victuallers, both as men and tradesmen, and the Committee, although they have used, and are using, every means in their power. to render the paper a great National Journal, are proud, and happy to acknowledge, that they owe their splendid beginning to the fact that the profits of the Era are to be devoted, in due proportions, to the assistance of the School and Asylum in the metropolis, and the extension of Establishments of Education and Protection, connected with the body throughout the kingdom. The Licensed Victuallers, and all connected with the trade, are earnestly and respect fully solicited to continue their exertions in this great and holy cause. Signed by order of the Committee, G. S. KEYNIER, Hon. Sec. P. BRENAN, Acting Sec. Committee-room, No. 20, Catherine-street, Strand, Oct. 3, 1838. _ _ __ M AILS, Arrive i. Due Arrived. Due.l A rrived.

J L r WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1838. At the anti-Catholic meeting held at Manchester on Friday last, the Rev. HUGH STOWELL, of Christ's Church, Salford, surprised his hearers with the following remarkable statement :—" He could not forbear adverting to one point, and that was the subtle, subtilising disguise of Popery that was creeping into our own Church. I do," said he, " most solemnly bear my testimony against the Ox ford tracts. There is much that is good and true in them, but they contain, disguised and coloured, the very essence of Popery. The men who imbibe the sentiments of those tracts are next door to the Church of Rome, and slope the way back to the mother of harlots." This Rev. Gentleman goes the proper way to work—he begins at the right end—not like Mr. M'GHEE, who, but a few months ago, could see nothing in our Established Church but purity and true religion, and nothing in the Catholic Church but the slavish and anti-Christian doctrines of PETER DENS. No Catholic ever gave this half political—half-religious fanatic such a cutting reproof, and never was there a more fitting application of th e sacred injunction, " Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye ; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." We have long held the same sentiments, being firmly convinced that more danger was to be apprehended to the Protestant Reformed religion from the conduct and doc trines of such men as the Bishop of EXETER and the Rev.RoBERT M'GHEE than from all the machinations of Mr. O'CONNELL and the Popish priesthood of Ireland; and, full of this conviction, we ventured to foretel that the day was not distant when the real friends of the Protestant Church would meet in Exeter Hall to inveigh against the Popish doc trines and the Popish practices that still so much abound in that Establishment. We have not yet had. meetings in Exeter Hall for that purpose, but " coming events cast their shadows before," and this meeting at Manchester we regard as one of the fcrzerunners of that great undertaking by which our Church is to be purified. There are a vast number of pious, sincere Christians in this Protestant commu nity who begin to be alarmed, and with reason alarmed, at the Popish doctrines contained in the Oxford tracts, at the spiritual supremacy claimed by some of the heads of the Church, and at the eternal wranglings of both, in and out of Parliament, about the secular power and wealth of the Church, about the " tithe of mint and anise and cumtnin, omitting the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith." They begin to see that our Ch urc h i s not h a lf re f orme d , an d that it contains nearly all the seeds of that bitter fruit which compelled our ancestors to rise up against the doctrine and practices of the Romish hierarchy. The love of money, the root of all evil, which paved the way for the Protestant religion, is s till cherished with as much fer vour by our Bishops, Deans, and Prebendaries, as in the old Catholic times. We keep up the staff of the Catholic Church to Pon erf poison perform in our C at h e d ra l s d a il y service, which no p cares about or attends. The teachers of our religi on look up to the Catholic Church as the prototype o f r the mit ordination as valid, by what rotestant, and ad- Mr. STOWELL calls the " mother of harlots," while they re ject the rite of ordination by any reformed Church. These resemblances, with many others we could men tion, begin to open the eyes of all who are not politi cally blind to the faults of the Establishment, and are for a Reform agitation preparing the way , Whi S TOWE LL and Mr. M the colleagues of MM r. M'GHEE, at Manchester, have auspiciously began. Among the articles of our Morning Contempora ries, under the head of " Spirit of the Public Jour nals," will be found one from the Chronicle of this day, on the important subject of Irish Railways— more particularly as regards the Great South-western . , ... : .,recommended by the Com mis s ioners in their 0 ..,,tßeport—to which we w ould call the attention r ou r . -- ~.., A_re, or vlrish readers. Unfortunately this subject has Z ?,..:,.. 7 ' . not bitheito been dealt with in a proper spirit. There ~,„ " - has pee on all sides more heat displayed than rational iiivestigation ; and, as is usual in such t w oo hos r e ead g y atul as p s r u o m s P e " their ts see e c n as d e an s, g - e t r h ea r - , Parties ere pmeerd. PORTRAITS THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, Me. sonal interests and those of the Irish nation to be identical. Even several of the Liberal Journals, whom we have no reason to suspect of being the or gans of any party, have been wanting in attention to the fact, that the Commissioners have had no indivi dual interests to serve—that their Report has been admitted by their opponents to be founded on in quiries the most comprehensive and laborious—and, what is more to the purpose, that no rational objec. . _ tion could be taken to the lines of railway recommended by them, had no private companies embarked their capital in the formation of roads for their own espe cial benefit. By no party, that we are aware of, has the Report itself been attacked, save and except in so far as it appears to militate against the interests of established companies ; and, when the alarm raised by them and their organs has subsided, we have no doubt but that the good sense of th• Irish representative body will lead them to prefer the welfare of the country :o all minor considerations. We do not mean to say that the property vested in those railways, for which Acts of Parliament have been obtained, should be recklessly sacrificed, or that great efforts should not be made to reconcile, as far as possible, public with pri vate vested interests. On the contrary, we are of opt nion, that were immediate steps taken to effect such a purpose, many evils would be prevented, which must otherwise be inevitable. But to improve Ireland on a great scale—to elevate her to her proper rank among the nations of Europe—to place her on a footing of physical, commercial, and moral equality with England and Scotland, it is in dispensible that the main design of the Railway Commissioners should be universally and simultane ously adopted. To improve Ireland by railways, the whole country must be traversed with them, not from city to city, but from sea to sea. It is not the inter nal, so much as the external, trade of Ireland, to which a powerful and general impulse requires to be given, in order to render the whole Island prosperous. She must become a link in the chain connecting this country with America before she can avail herself of the vast resources of human happiness which she at present possesses. In the case of a country like Ireland the great object is to unite remote harbours by direct lines, by which means every town will be enabled, by branch roads, to share in the general prosperity. We therefore par ticipate in the pleasure expressed by our Contem porary at the disposition manifested by the inha bitants of Cork to consider the expediency of giving speedy effect to the recommendations of the Commissioners. With respect to the raising of a fund adequate to the carrying on of so great a work, objec tions have been taken to a National Loan, on the rational ground of a dread of jobbing—hitherto the bane of every scheme for the internal improvement of Ireland. We do not look upon this evil as one for which no remedy can be provided. But as it is but fair towards Ireland, that the money-raising plans sug gested by the Irish Press should be generally made known in this country, we take the following from the Waterford Chronicle of Saturday last : In turning to the proposition for levying a County-rate, to aid the construction of railways, we have to observe that the idea has for some time been a favourite one with us. The happy example of America ; in making the local Go vernments of its separate States contribute towards the construction of railways, first suggested the idea, and from the magnificent results it has produced in that country, leads us to hope that it may be applied to lre!and with great benefit.—At the same time,. we are by no means-pre pared to agree with the Southern Reporter, in maintain ing that the counties either can or ought to undertake works of the kind wholly and solely on their own separate accounts. We do not suppose that our Contemporary's ingenuity, considerable as we admit it to be, will suffice for the devising of a practical scheme for combining bodies so mixed in their compo,ition—in their interests so conflicting—and in their natures so ji.alous, as the county grand juries, to unite with any effect in labours so arduous and complicated as these of national railways. But though we are clear in our conviction that counties are incapable of conducting enterprises of this kind, we are strong in our belief that a mode may be found by which they may he enabled with perfect ease and success to contribute to wards the completion of such works within their respec tive bounds. As the subject is one of considerable inte rest, we shall freely communicate our views on it, hoping that they may deserve some consideration, and receive, from the ordeal of public discussion, the improvements of which, in their present nascent state, they are obviously susceptible. Our opinion is, that upon a Bill for making any railway being obtained, it shall be lawful for the grand jury of any county through which it is intended to pass, to authorise the Treasurer of the county to subscribe for a limited number of shares, for and on the account of the county ; and to pay out of the county rates the call made by the Company for such shares, and to receive for and on account of the county, the dividends arising from such shares. The number of shares to be thus subscribed for by the Treasurer, should, in every instance, bear a proportion to the capital of the Company, and the extent of railway traversing the county, and they should in no instance be allowed to exceed 500,0001. or 100,0001. The money should be invariAbly expended upon that part of the line situate within the county rated, and not elsewhere. This plan, we think, might be acted upon with great facility. Let us suppose a railway with a capital of a million sterling, and for twenty miles, passiog through a particular county. The county Treasurer, under the Act of Parliament we propose, is directed by the grand jury to subscribe for shares to the amount of 100,000/. This would probably be 1,000 shares, of 1001. each. Now, supposing the calls upon them to be tw• a year, and of 10/. each—and no existing company has exceeded this average— the county rate would be 20,0001. for four or five years, at the end of which the shares would be at a very large profit, or producing an interest which would materially lighten the county taxation for years to come. This scheme, we apprehend, is decidedly a practical one, and may be put in force at any moment. How far this plan of raising a National Railway Fund may be considered practicable, we leave to be determined by the good sense of our readers. To us it appears much more plausible than conclusive. We shall enter more fully into the merits of the whole question in the course of a few days. The Paris Journals of Monday contain no news of any political interest. We regard the Swiss question as settled for the present, notwithstanding the fears to the contrary expressed by several of the ultra-demo cratical Papers, and particularly by the National. On Saturday th e P o li ce , w h ose R o y a li s t z e al is as untiring as it is necessary to alleviate the fears of the CITIZEN KING, sei ze d, i n t h e R ue S t.

They also succeeded in seizing the presses of the Moniteur Republican:, and what was of mote importance, the suspected Editors of that very obscure publication. Some new poniards were found in one of the printing offices, which, coupled with a suspicion of the loyalty of the widow of PEN ti — who, it will be remembered, was beheaded, as an accomplice of EtEscm—appears to have greatly alarmed the authorities.

What is a certain fact is, that Abd-el-Kader has been obligel to raise the siege of Ain-Midi, could not enter that town, where he would have found considerable sums. The inhabitants of the desert, who at first se:aned likely to declare for him, mustered to the relief of the besieged town, and the Arab expedition was united. " We now look for the details of this event, which any be considered as of the highest importance. It is a severe blow which the warlike population of Ain-Medi has given to the power of the Emir.

William Neate, a picture-dealer, lately carrying on business in Fleet-street and King William.street, applied upon his t-tition to be discharged. The insolvent was opposed by M.-. Cooke, for a surgeon named Buller, residing in Farring don.street Other creditors, of the name of Radc1:110, Birch, and Wilson opposed in person. From the statement of Mr. Bull. r, it appeared that as long ago as 1833 he en. trusted two pictures to the insolvent for sale, neither of which he had either returned to him or get the money for. One of the pictures was Rosalind and Orlando, and the other a battle piece. The insolvent said that Mr. Buller had sold the pictures to him. Mr. Wilson, another creditor, residing at Brixton, stated that he had left with the insolvent for sale a picture, believ ing him to he a respectable man, which had never been.re turned to him, nor the money for it. T! e insolvent, on cross-examination, acknowledged to hay. ing pledged several pictures, and among the rest one belong ing to Mr. Buller. Mr. WOODROYPE anpeared for the insolvent. The case appears likely to occupy the whole day. CITY REGISTRATION. (THIS DAY.) The lists for th e p ar i s h o f S t. B oto l p h, Aldgate, (Before Mr. CRAIG.) were the first brought under the notice of the Court to-day. There were ~b jections taken by the Liberal side to live names ; the Tory party would not appear for them, and the namex were , expunged fr om t h e li st. Th ere were tw o Christian names obliterated, and anot h er one i nserte d i n p e ncil ; the Barrister therefore refused to sign the list in such a state, and it was ordered t o s t an d over t ill to-morro w , w h en the overseer is to attend and explain how it arose. In the p ar i s h o f S t . B ennet Sh ere h og the Tories had ob jected to the name of Mr. Bos:ock remaining on the list, on the ground of his being an alien. To-day they contented themselves pith asking the overseer the fact. lie said Mc. Rostock did not speak with a foreign accent, and they then withdrew the obj-ction. The list was then signed. In th e p ar i s h o f S t . F a i t h t h ere was on ly one claim, and as . both parties were willing t o s upp o rt it, the name was at on ce inserted, and the list signed. There was nothing of any importance before Mr. Mylne. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) DEFRAUDING AN EMPLOYER.— William Moore was brought up under the following circumstances : It appear e d th a t a b ou t a mon th ago the prisoner was en . trusted by hi s master w i t h l eat h er worth about 11. to make into sh oes; but instead of doing so, he absconded from his lodgi ng , taking it along with him. The prisoner declared that he had left the articles at his lodgings. The landlady of the house denied this, and appeared very indignant at tie conduct of the urisoner, stigmatizing him in no very measured terms, as he had made her answerable for the loss. Sir P. LATIRIR inquired how that could be? The complainant replied, that. before they entrusted work to a stranger, they generally required the security of the person in whose house he lodged. Sir PETER LAURIE inquired if that was the custom of tbe trade ? The complainant replied in the affirmative. Sir PETER LAURIE said that he had never heard of such a custom b fore. It appearing probable that the matter would be settled, the prisoner was remanded. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY IN A HOUSE OF ILL -FAME.—George Stone, Eliza Walher, and Esther Brown, were charged with having robbed a person named Smith. The complainant, who stated that he belongs to Lich field, deposed that about 11 o'clock last night .he went into the house, No. 9, Black Horse-court, Fleet-street, in com pany with a female. He slept there, and on getting up this morning found that he had been robbed of 601. The woman with whom he went into the house was not one of the pri soners. The landlord of the house, who was present, said, in an swer to questions by Sir Peter Laurie, that he had let the house in this manner for the last eight years, and that it was let at present at 30s. a-week. Mrs. Walker declared that the complainant gave her a 51. note to get changed, and that ahe returned him the money. The complainant came in with three girls, and after remaining some time he went out with them. Oa returning he asked for a girl, but there being none in the house, he slept by himself. The complainant said that he did not recollect leaving the house at all, nor did he believe that he gave the prisoner a note to get changed. Mrs. Walker further stated that she got the note changed at the house of the landlord, and the latter stated that he had disposed of it. The prisoners were remanded, in order that further inquiries might be made, Sir P. Lacatr. remarking that he had no doubt the parties perfectly understood each other. BOW-STREET. 7 (T tilS DAY.) Lord George Somerset appeared to answer a complaint which had been preferred against him by Richard Smith, of Union-mews, and driver of 706 cabriolet, for refusing to pay him 4d. of his fare. _ _ _ __ _.... ........._._.

The following are the penalties for buying and smoking opium:— " If an officer of Government buys and smokes opium, he is to be dismissed the service, to wear the collar for two months, and be beaten with one hundred blows. Soldiers and '.;le people are to be punished with one hundred blows and wear the collar fer one mouth. Eunuchs in the Impe rial Palace are to wear the collar for two months, and sent to the most distant frontier as slaves to the soldiers. ( From the Pekin Gazette, 2d Allen, 2d Day ( Feb. 25 ) The Imperial will has been received. I order that Kwo Se-ping be immediately strangled ; this criminal has auda ciously dared to form a connection with the outside fo:eigners at the important passes of the Sea Frontier ; he opened a shop, stored it with opium, and seduced peop'e to buy and smoke ;t ; he has been known to be engaged in this way for five years; but the former Governors have been negligent, and not one of them have examined and managed the affair with regard to truth, and hereafter, with reference to the offences of buying and selling opium, and opium smoking-houses, the criminal must be seized, and punished.

Up to the time we left the room, about 1,600 chests on the whole sale had passed the hammer. TEA SALE-THIRD DAY. The evils attendant upon putting up such an immense quan tity of Tea, more than can possibly b , sold, and which those who put it up know will not he sold, shows itself now strongly. Buyers to-day were in very thin attendance indeed, and to. morrow we oxpect that they will be thinner. In fact, wt o can be expected to attend, under all the circuinstalices of this immense sale, at which the importers will not meet the wishes of the buyers for lower prices? The very insignificant portion of Tea selling to-day is Congou, and it went at lid. per lb. lower than the prices of last sale. The quotations furnished by the sale hitherto have been is. 2d. to Is. 7d. for common and middling Congou ; Is. 9d. to 2s. 6d. for good and fine ; and Is. 4d. to Is. 7d. fur Twankay.

The arrivals of grain from Irelind, coastwise or abroad. have been limited since Tuesday last, during which space of time the weather has proved extremely favourable for harvest operations. There was a toler,ble muster of dealers and millers at this morning's market, which, notwithstanding, exhi bited a considerable degree of dulness.

EDINEORGIL—The state of the weather continues to be of the most favourable kind for the cutting down of the crops, being warm and genial to a degree not usually experienced at this season of the year. Yesterday ( Sunday) afternoon there was some appearance of rain, and a few drops fell; but it speedily passed away. Great progress is making in the ope rations of harvest. —Edinburgh Courant. GLascow.—The weather being exceedingly favourable for harvest operations, there were an immen‘e number of shearers hired at the Cross on Friday and Saturday mornings.— Wages 18d. to 2s.— Glasgow Herald. VALE OF LUNE.—The weather since our last has been the most glorious conceivable for gathering in the fruits of the earth. The sickle is everywhere in full operation, and on large breadths the crops have been housed in the finest possible condition. We hear great complaints of the wheat crops, but barley and oats are very good•—lancaster Guardian. LINCOLN AND LOOM—The harvest in this neighbourhood is now fast drawing to its close, and is said to be on the whole a good average crop. To judge by the appearance of the dif ferent farm-yards, we should say that opinion is fully borne out. A sort of meritorious rivalry exists amongst the harvest-men hereabouts, which can produce the handsomest and most com pact stack. Some of the wheat stacks about the neighbour hood of Beckingham and Gringley, are of such symmetry as to have a strong resemblance to a well-built thatched cottage, some standing on fear, and others en six brick pillars, about three feet from the ground.—Lincoln Gazette. . - 1-larvest in the neighbourhood of Louth i 4 proceeding rapidly to a conelmion.

Of Sheriaata d e . P hilosop hic. Lord Brougham praises quite as highly as I ' states serves, we are told that he was an orator, but De 'T ru e, man. We believe he was neither.
